UIS email and Network IDs

All UIS faculty, students, and staff are given a university email account and address at the time their Network ID (NetID) is created. Your UIS email address is your NetID followed by “@uis.edu”. For example, John Smith’s NetID is jsmit2 so his UIS email address is jsmit2@uis.edu. Additional information about email is available here.

UIS Email Distribution Lists

Email distribution lists are available for faculty and staff use. The distribution lists allow an individual to easily send an email message to a large group of people at once. For more information on using distribution lists, please visit the UIS email Distribution List policy webpage: http://www.uis.edu/its/about/policies.html
